Warwick (10-0), which went relatively unchallenged in the Peninsula District, dominated play at the bottom of the lineup. Fittingly, the Raiders' No. 3 doubles team of Katie Goodrich and Ellary Gantan provided the clinching fifth point with a 6-2, 6-0 victory.

Wins in singles by No. 4 Meg Lenz, No. 5 Goodrich and No. 6 Gantan gave Warwick a relatively quick 3-0 lead. Melanie Houchins won at No. 1 for the Eastern District runner-up Comets, and No. 2 Tiye Johnson rallied from a set behind to win.

But Casey Williams earned a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 3 over Maria Harrison, giving the Raiders a lead and the opportunity to advance quickly via doubles.

"This is the first time we've had so much depth," Warwick coach Adrienne Rylander said. "We don't have a whole lot of big talent, but the heart they've expressed and the way they've played, that's all we can ask for."

The Raiders next will play at 2 p.m. Thursday at Huntington Park against Beach champion Cox, which will be a prohibitive favorite in their match. The Falcons are led by Olivia Large, who has played many national-level events, and Kait Brogan.

"It will be a new experience," Rylander said. "But for them to have come this far is remarkable in itself. Whatever happens happens."
